    The Best Cake

    One of the best cakes we have ever eaten. (Strawberry layers and vanilla almond layers) So moist and flavorful! Enjoyed our cake tasting day, but it was even better for the actual wedding! Everyone loved it!

    Highly recommend!

    I had a great experience with Pennington! My guests raved about how tasty it was, and we overheard lots of Mmmms!

    We ordered chocolate with raspberry filling. Sometimes there’s not enough filling, but this was the Perfect filling to cake ratio! So moist - and the presentation was exactly what I’d asked for! So happy with it

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Thank you, Rachel and congrats again! We are thrilled to hear your cake was a hit! Many blessings to you!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Pennington Cakes went above and beyond our expectations. They delivered a stunning cake that tasted absolutely amazing. The owner was extremely flexible and customized our cake exactly the way we wanted it. We also ordered sugar cookies from them that were a major hit with all of our guests. As an added bonus they are extremely affordable. Highly recommend for all your dessert needs. You won’t be disappointed!

    Our wedding cakes were so BEAUTIFUL and tasted AMAZING! We had a three tier almond bread cake with two fillings, as well as a grooms layered cookie cake and we have had so many compliments on them! Not only were the cakes so delicious but the service was even better! Pennington’s cakes always took our calls and made the process so easy and fun! We are beyond thankful and so happy with how everything turned out! Thank you all so much!

    Delicious and Easy

    We used Pennington for our wedding cake and it was absolutely amazing! They were so easy to work with and we received so many compliments on the cake. We went in for 1 easy meeting with them where we described what we wanted for our cake, we tasted and picked our flavors and that was it! They coordinated the rest with our venue and we couldn't have been happier with how it turned out visually and the cake was DELICIOUS! Thank You so much Stephen, Sara, and Wendi!

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Thanks Lyndsey! We loved making your cakes. Hope to see you again soon. Many blessings to you and Frank!

    Best decision for cakes!!!!

    Pennington’s was a fantastic choice for my husband and I for our wedding! They were very friendly and responsive to all of our questions in person and through email making working with them a breeze. Pennington’s worked with my gluten allergy at a very affordable rate and incredibly tasty cakes (and cupcakes) with fresh berries!!!! We shopped around a lot for cakes through San Antonio, New Braunfels, and San Marcos area. They were the best by far in both price and quality!!!! Best choice to top off an absolutely perfect day!!

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Thanks Laura! Congratulations to you and Adam! We are so pleased that you loved your cakes. Many blessings to you and a long and happy life together.

    My cakes were beautiful!

    Pennington’s did two cakes for my wedding and they both turned out awesome. Anything you can imagine or honestly pull off Pinterest Stephen and his team can pull it off. We did a simple wedding and Star Wars groom’s cake. First off they looked amazing but then they tasted even better! I’m looking forward to eating the top tier of my wedding cake next year already. Great job Pennington’s!

    So yummy and gorgeous!

    I was so happy to book Pennington because they did my parents wedding cake 37 years ago! We did a deconstructed cake with copper drip and copper paint and it was absolutely gorgeous. I had several people say that it looked like something out of a magazine! We had half white cake with raspberry filling and the other half was white cake with pineapple filling and it was delicious. I definitely recommend Pennington's.

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Thanks, Christie! We are thrilled you loved your cake. Thanks for being a second generation Pennington's Bride!! Congratulations and many blessings we wish for you both!

    Best cake ever, exceeded my expectation!!

    My wedding cake was everything I could want and more! Not only was it beautiful and exactly how I imagine but it was the best cake I have ever tasted!!! My wedding was over three months ago and people still talk about how amazing the flavors of our cake were. Steve was a pleasure to work with and he always took time out of this day to answer any of my questions and concerns. I HIGHLY recommend Pennington’s to every bride and groom. The prices are unbeatable.

I would Most definitely and highly recommend them to anyone considering a professional cake for a Wedding, Anniversary, Birthday, Retirement, Holiday, or event party.

    Wonderful Service! Amazing taste!

    Stephen was great from the beginning to end! Scheduling the tasting was simple and convenient and they even prepared a sampling for my children. Stephen was flexible with changes throughout the entire process and did everything with a smile. The day of delivery went smoothly and even though they forgot the stand (I didn’t even notice) everything was beautiful and perfect! And the taste? Oh wow!!!! We chose the pineapple and the chocolate ganache and both were to die for! So delicious and fresh! Thanks again Penington’s! I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

    Thanks, Melanie! We loved making your cakes. We wish you many blessings and many happy years together!

    Weddingcake

    We had a fabulous experience with Pennington’s! We ordered 6 cakes total and everyone LOVED them. In fact, we had none leftover! They captured just what we wanted as far as the design and overall look of the cakes. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for wedding cakes out there!

    BEST tasting cakes EVER & gorgeously designed!!

    I'm absolutely blown away by the taste and design of their cakes! They couldn't have been better to work with - Stephen and team are AMAZING! We told them exactly what we wanted for both cakes, and they blew us away! We found them, but our caterer confirmed we made the right choice (kept insisting she's tasted all & they're the best). Then, other vendors & ALL the guests were asking where we got our cakes! We are thrilled to this day to have used them - best wedding cakes ever! Thank you so much!

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Our cakes were fantastic! They were as we envisioned and discussed. Stephen was wonderful to work with and was super flexible with our changes and responsive to questions. There was only one small issue that I noticed and that is that the fondant was buckling on the back of one of our cakes. I am not sure what was happening, but luckily they were able to put that to the back, therefore, it wasn't an issue. Perhaps it was a bit too humid for the cakes (it was quite humid even with the cakes inside). Overall, we had a fantastic experience.

    The cakes were also all delicious. The tiered cake was strawberry with vanilla buttercream, one side cake was chocolate with chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream, and the third was white cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream. The chocolate was by far the favorite and disappeared quickly. All three were moist, perfectly baked, and delicious.

    I highly recommend Pennington's Cakes and will be back for future events!

    I could speak for days about my experience with Pennington's. Just wonderful! You have come to the right place. I booked them for my wedding this past June and worked directly with Stephen. He was amazing! There was one day I stopped by unannounced and he wasn't in, but one of his employees helped me with no issues at all.

    Like most bride-to-be's, I tried several different cake places, but this was the most affordable option plus amazing quality cakes and excellent service. I didn't think you could tell the difference in good quality cakes until I went cake tasting for my wedding and I soon learned the difference!

    Stephen was very thorough from day one and was open to any and all suggestions I had. As our wedding day got closer, I had already paid off the cakes but realized that the serving amounts were much larger than my expected guest count, as that amount changed from my original anticipated amount. Well not only did Pennington's adjust our order to accommodate our new count, but were quick to refund what they owed us.

    The quality of cake can be seen in the pictures (they were even better in person) and the taste was talked about for days with my family and friends. We had two cakes for our wedding with about 4 or 5 different flavors because all the cake was so good we couldn't narrow it down! Thank you Pennington's for being so incredible. We will be back!

    Pennington's Cakes's reply:

    Thank you, Megan! We LOVED being part of your day. We had loads of fun making your cakes, and we look forward to making more for you for whatever occasion you need. Many blessings to you and Juston!
